Daily Devo | Bathsheba (David - Day 15, 2 Samuel 11:1-6)

People unfamiliar with the Bible often know two stories about David -- David & Goliath, and David & Bathsheba. The first is one of David's greatest victories and the second is one of his greatest failures. In our own lives, we often has as much to learn from failure as we do success, and so it is with David.

For Reflection:

David's monumental failure begins almost "innocently" -- a wayward glance after a midday nap.

- How have you seen people ignore or justify potentially dangerous sins as small, innocent, and not worth worrying about?

- Pastor Dave pointed to our strength being rooted in the "joy of the Lord" (Nehemiah 8:10). How might such a joy have protected David? How might it protect you?

- How might God be inviting you to grow in your joy in the Lord?
